Dave Torres of D-211 explained in a recent Daily Herald 10/19/2012article that the district is planning toincrease the tax levy by 3.5 percent, which is the **maximum** that is allowed, because without maxing out the levy the district could face problems down the line.

Did Dave ever consider that the citizens paying the bill are facing problems right now? A high school education in D-211 costs taxpayers more than $88,000.00 per student. Isn't this enough?

Dist. 211 wants its budget to rise to$272.6million for 2012-13

If you disagree with Dave Torres and the D-211 school board please come to the meeting and let them know.
